    Another great action capture! Better focus on the subjects with this one, but I think I would try and get the people in the background out of the DOF. Maybe a faster aperture or crop tighter. The blur of the feet helps convey the speed of the move which I think helps the viewer appreciate how fast these guys are. Nice!

    I agree, another great capture but the background really needs to be blurred to focus the attention on the athletes and not expression in the background, unless of course that's what you were attempting to achive.

    I don't have the ability to see what your setting's were, can you please share.

    Believe it or not, that's exactly what I was trying to do and hence the title of this photo
